As always, very enjoyable senseless cartoon violence

HAhaha awesome. and totally pro

probably helps i luv cats/hate dogs

in fact come to think of it, I probably couldn't watch this normally - (I can't stand happy tree friends on television) - but It's a different story when i'm appreciating it for the animation value!

how long to produce, single animator or team?

Thanks for the comments!
This one took a while to do.. couldn't get the story right
the dogs dogs walk cycle was a real pain.
I found this clip on a web site (which I lost the link to, and I haven't been able to find the site since). It had loads of great loops... I really wish I still had it.

They usually take about two week in total time, but I have to
fit them in around other projects so it can take a while to finish them.

Cheers

Great stuff. The animation is awesome and the blood effects are a bit too realistic (have you video taped this in real life?!

).

Also for consistency, Cat Bastard fires 6 puppies out of his cannon, but you have 8 brains stuck to the fence afterwards (not including the big dogs brains). Another thing that might be good is a scene where he shakes the gun violently to get the last dog to fall into it for that final gun shot. I love the little old lady falling over at the end, nice touch.

Would that be this website?

Hi LF & Rasheed

Thanks for liking the story.
Fortunately I've never studied or witnessed the way blood runs in large quantities.
I just animate it and if it adds to the grossness I leave it in.

That site is pretty close but it's not the one. The one I found had hundreds of clips on. At the time I thought that I should post the link on this forum... I really wish I had.

If I find it again, I'll post!

Cheers

Paul
